Unmi El-Rufai, the wife of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, the Chairperson of Federation of Women Lawyers in Kaduna state and other human rights activists have demanded justice for a teenager allegedly tortured by her boss.
They are all demanding for justice to be served against the suspect, describing her action as ungodly and inhuman.
The 14-year-old maid was said to have been battered with a knife by a middle-aged woman who subjected her to other dehumanized conditions for more than one year.
The woman who was arrested and detained by the police over the weekend was however arraigned on Monday before a Magistrate Court in the state capital.
